Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 2/8] selftests/bpf: Cover unknown BTF header-extension bytes in btf dump
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 17:00:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016000012.2232059-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016000012.2232059-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
libbpf can parse BTF with a header carrying unknown nonzero extension
bytes, but refuses to modify it. bpftool dumps C from a detached copy
so that it can modify BTF before dump.
It is expected for a C dump of a BTF with extension bytes to match the
dump of the same BTF without them, but there is no test for this.
Add a test case to bpftool_btf_dump to cover it.
